Dr MacCarron won for her publication (Routledge: London and New York, 2020). The book, and lecture, examined the development of time reckoning and chronological systems, in particular the adoption and dissemination of AD-dating, in the early middle ages, and considered the implications of these innovations for our understanding of time and history.
